It's heartbreaking to imagine being in Falere's shoes. If Rila was old enough, she probably acted sort of like a second mother to Falere, especially after they went to the monastery and Samara became a Justicar. If that's the case, Falere is seeing both her sister and one of her mother figures die right before her eyes.
This was by far one of the most emotionally taxing levels in any game I've ever played. The pitch blackness at the start, the horrible fate of the Ardat-Yakshi, Rila's sacrifice, plus Samara's suicide attempt all added up to be an emotional roller-coaster for me.
Morinth was a sociopathic monster, she had no potential. You're told outright when you 'recruit her that you made a mistake. She was already practically a Banshee, the Reapers just finish the job.
I bet Samara needed every minute in her 400 year quest to kill Morinth. She talks about seeing her as dangerous and needing to be put down, but I’m betting the previous 4 centuries were used grieving and trying to cope with what she must do.
jesus samara's blood line is thhe alien equivalent of the kennedy's family thheir just dropping like flys......and one of them does involve a head shot
Eric G I'm having a hard time digesting the notion of Morinth being "normal" in ME2. She was plenty crazy enough to begin with. Hell, indoctrination probably made her more pleasant to be around.
Eric G Well she inherited the near-square head of Samara, so I'll say she's a mere 6.5/10 for an Asari. If I deduct points for "death by snu-snu", it would just be unfair.
Indoctrination works as fast as it needs to, but rapid indoctrination deterioates the target faster. Shepard is probably more useful as a sabotage unit a few years down the line (like Rana Thanoptis) than a ground troop.
Don't forgot the prothan device and synthetic are evolve in why the indoctrination not working plus indoctrination doesn't truly work for people who are strong will and don't accept the gift of the reaper
I've just thought of something. Ardat-Yakshi kills her mate during the joining, that is true and we could see how it works in ME2. But what, if two Ardat-Yakshi were to mate with each other?
MrApproximity those oaths are temporary, remember when you first recruited Samara she said "if you make me do anything too dishonorable I might have to kill you after I am released"
@MASTER50577 No you silly didn't you see the other daughter? She got infected by the tit monsters so she blew the bomb up with her and the tit monsters around her before they fully changed her
the same reason Legion had to kill himself for no established reason, Miranda had to be "in hiding" and Grunt is tied up with the Urdnot clan while animations and mechanics are getting reused from Dead Space and GoW.
I really wished they'd let Samara to become a squadmate. It seemed after this should could have, but I've noticed none of the solely ME2 squadmates are allowed to be ones for ME3. So far at least, it seems only someone new or someone from ME1 is available. I miss Samara. Thank you for posting this.
Honestly, no romance with Samara in ME2, only a slight teaser, and in ME3 no romance again. Fucking hell... This piss anyone else off? Even Jack didn't get a true Romance Scene...
I was under the impression that asari face tatoos were connected to their "fathers" race. Also i believe Samara mentions that only asari - asari pairings result in ardat-yakshi. Yet the sisters tatoos are different.
I would have used Samara for fuel in the Normandy's FTL drive after our conversation in ME2 if it weren't for her dawm good body. That and the predetermined gameplay of course.
I found something very interesting today as I was playing the final Mission in london, when you destroy the anti aircraft with the cain and get attacked by reaper troops including a banshee, because I chose morinth over samara in me2 and for whatever reason, I skipped this mission, on the london mission when you target the banshee, intstead of saying banshee it says morinth. If you do what I did you get to kill morinth. I thought that was pretty cool.
I like how in ME2 it's 'Ardat-Yakshi are sooo rare there's only three' but then in ME3 there's just a crapload of them everywhere. Are the Bioware writers even allowed to talk to each other or are they all locked in separate rooms lol
There are more severe levels. More potent, according to the lore. Morinth, Rila, and Falere where the most potent alive at the time of the Reaper Invasion, which is one of the reasons that Morinth was so powerful... Commandos couldn't even best her at the peak of her power, and why she was as powerful (along with her victim's power and knowledge) as her mother, who was 500 years her senior in experience and general ability. Samara's daughters where so feared that they where not even allowed to visit Thessia to learn about the Asari, which many Ardat made a journey to under supervision. Most Ardat didn't have such a strong proclivity to dominate someones mind as strongly (much like Indoctrination-a lot of fans have wondered about the connection.... and there still where dangerous to mate with...) that Ardat like Morinth had, which is why Morinth was the most wanted Ardat-YakshI in the galaxy and Samara said of these Ardat she was in charge of as a Justicar where among only "three." About 1% of the population of Asari were Ardat, so it would be well into the hundred thousands (before the war started there where billions of Asari) in various monasteries around Asari space. Banshees only need the genetic disposition to become Ardat-Yakshi, so while its is preferable to get an actual Ardat (which is why they attacked the monastery where Rila and Falere resided- There are many grouped in one place, so its pretty efficient harvesting) they can turn regular Asari into banshees that have the gene. (So yeah, Samara herself... though not an Ardat- could have become one under certain circumstances since she obviously birthed three examples... ) ((There is some question however, if it was Samara that was the carrier, or its runs through the non-birthing pureblood AsarI-since as it is known.. only children of two Asari can become Ardat, and we have not information on Samara's lover))
@fenix8634 She has 3, they're all ardat-yakshi but you killed one of them in ME2 and these are the other 2 you still meet her but you don't get this cut scene
How do you get to see some of your squadmates from ME2? I beat the game today and the only one I met so far is Jacob, Miranda, and Mordin. That's it. How do you meet the rest like Jack, Thane, and Samara?
@halfbreed1426 Will you look at mine? I want to know if others think it's good 131.16B.MI1.11J.J86.67W.9M9.711.936.1F7.246.112 although it ME3 imported it from ME2 weird you might have to adjust the jaw a little bit
